Rebirding: Restoring Britain's Wildlife, authored by Benedict Macdonald, is a groundbreaking exploration that has been awarded the prestigious Richard Jefferies Society and White Horse Book Shop Literary Prize. This compelling work has been described as 'splendid' by The Guardian and 'visionary' by the New Statesman, capturing the essence of an urgent call to action for Britain's much-needed wildlife revival.
Delving into the heart of conservation, Rebirding reveals a startling truth: only six percent of Britain is developed, while vast areas of countryside remain unutilized. This presents a unique opportunity to restore our rich biodiversity and create sustainable employment in rural communities.
Macdonald’s insightful narrative challenges traditional conservation strategies, advocating for a transformative approach that includes rewilding and species reintroduction. Key features of Rebirding: Restoring Britain's Wildlife include:
This masterful manifesto, praised by both conservationists and landowners, charts an ambitious course for humanity and nature to coexist harmoniously. Join the movement to reclaim Britain’s wildlife and be inspired to make a difference today!

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
